From the
Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing Records, #4776, Rush
University Medical Center Archives, Chicago, Ill. See webpage for
more information: http://rushu.libguides.com/rusharchives. Presbyterian
Hospital of the City of Chicago was founded in 1883. Presbyterian
Hospital School of Nursing was founded in 1903. On April 25, 1956,
with the merger of St. Luke's and Presbyterian Hospitals, the schools
of nursing merged as the Presbyterian-St. Luke's School of Nursing.
The school catalogs for PHSN include bulletins of information,
1903-1917, followed by annual announcements, 1920-1956. The bulletins
and announcements include lists of faculty, committee members, and
students; admission, course, and graduation requirements; facility
and residence information; history of the school and hospital; and
rules and policies. Beginning with the Annual Announcement of
1948-1949, the announcements appear more promotional and include many
more photographs, including pictures of the hospital campus, nursing
areas, and student dormitories. Some years of Bulletins of
Information/Annual Announcements have not been found, and it is not
clear whether they are missing or whether they were not produced. The
school’s affiliations with Rush Medical College and the University
of Chicago are noted in the announcement titles. Rush Medical College
was affiliated with the University of Chicago, 1898-1942. Rush
Medical College closed in 1942, and was revived in 1969.
